Southlake had won in the 90s but they had hit a lull before Dodge got there...the 5 years before Dodge arrived Carroll was 10-1, 3-6-1, 7-5, 12-2, 6-4.....not terrible but not Carroll....he got to Carroll and switched them from wishbone to spread and then guided them from old 4A to 5A winning state his third year...so he did kind of build Carroll in a way

Journalism (well at least sports journalism has changed) because newspapers were slow to adapt to the digital world, that combined with massively reduced revenue streams have forced most small papers out of business and bigger papers to get swallowed up by corporate congolomerates who slash the budgets even more.....what really killed the newspaper was the loss of classified ad revenue...when that stuff went onlint to Craig's List etc...its absolutely gutted a massive revenue stream for newspapers and they never adapted/recovered

They've been around for about 8 years now

Very few newspapers have that level of individual stat availability across the state....only ones I see who consistently have it are the Dallas Morning News and the San Antonio Express-News

La Porte as I thought is rapidly improving under Berneathy

Playoffs are a little different Bally has first rights to everything then NFHS/TexanLive have 2nd rights...if neither entity can do the game then rights are sold out to others

One example is Allen, they dont allow broadcasts at their home game so last year when Atascocita played there or when CE King played this year we could not do their game

Correct in the regular season its about which ISDs contract with us

The Woodlands didn't look all that great against Houston Lamar and for three quarters couldn't put Oak Ridge away...Both Lamar and Oak Ridge are....decent at best

I'll say this about 4A D2 its deeper than its been in recent years...there's several really good teams not ranked at the moment

It could absolutely be a recruiting tactic

UIL doesnt control how individual ISD's handle their business..there are many ISD's which are open enrollment...if the kids get there early enough they are eligible after 365 days regardless of what the PAPF says...so if a 9th grader who was never gonna play varsity moves in and isn't eligible as a freshman he'll be eligible as a sophomore

man I thought Vidor was a legit contender for the district and in the region....this has to be one of the bigger disappointments to start the season in all of 4A

Just got back to my hotel, great atmosphere and great game...its still very early but that was IMO two really good teams going at it...WOS people have high standards, I get it and they aren't used to LCM going toe to toe very often, but Peevey has that thing rolling....the game was close because LCM is pretty dang good...kudos to both teams, that was fun

I kinda think SOC rolls....Lancaster's OL is not great and thats trouble against that SOC defensive line

Longview improved a ton towards the end of last year, they brought back a ton, they have a loaded junior class coming up from a JV that went 10-0 with several soph's playing on varsity a year...they looked really strong last week

WOW

Crosby....the meatloaf!

TexanLive has Crosby games

Definitely going to try and be in the house for this one

Bingo...great history lesson......

Denison honored their PVIL HS with decals 2 or 3 years ago...and Midland Legacy honored Midland Carver last year in a game...those are the ones I recall off the top of my head

If anyone else locates magazines in the area please let me know...thanks!!

The printer we normally used didnt have paper due to supply chain issues, so we had to pivot to a different printer with about two weeks notice...they were only able to print about 10,000 magazines (we typically print 150k)......so we prioritized subscribers to get their magazines first....the normal print run ended last week and magazines were picked up by distributors over the weekend....so now its just a matter of those middle men getting the magazines to retail and then retail putting them out..because our printer is in Carrollton I imagine DFW stores probably will have them in more supply early on while outlying areas will get them a little later depending on delivery schedules etc.....
